The U.S. Marshals Service is offering a $5,000 reward for information leading to the arrest of Joquan Antonio Porter, a 39-year-old man wanted in connection with a fatal shooting in Newport News, Virginia. Porter is charged with first-degree murder, use of a firearm in the commission of a felony, and shooting into an occupied dwelling. Authorities consider him armed and dangerous and urge the public to exercise extreme caution if encountered. The incident occurred on April 1, 2026, at approximately 12:54 p.m., when Newport News police responded to a reported shooting at the 300 block of Deputy Lane. Upon arrival, officers discovered a woman suffering from a gunshot wound; she was pronounced dead at the scene. The victim has been identified as 37-year-old Keshia Pearley. Investigators have revealed that Porter was Pearley’s husband. Robert Bowers, Senior Inspector with the USMS Capital Area Regional Fugitive Task Force, emphasized the agency's intent to incentivize tips, stating that any information provided will remain strictly confidential. The U.S. Marshals Service is actively seeking public assistance to locate Porter. Individuals with information are encouraged to contact the U.S. Marshals Service directly at 1-877-WANTED2 (926-8332) or via email at USMSTips@usdoj.gov. Alternatively, tips may be submitted to the Hampton Roads Crime Line at (888) LOCK-U-UP or through the P3 Tips website and mobile application. The reward is intended to encourage community members who may have knowledge of Porter’s whereabouts to come forward. As the investigation continues, law enforcement maintains that Porter remains at large and poses a significant threat to public safety. The Newport News Police Department initially handled the scene, but the U.S. Marshals Service is now leading the manhunt efforts. The public is reminded that all tips are confidential and that their cooperation is vital in bringing the suspect to justice for the tragic loss of Keshia Pearley.
